Prostitution has traditionally weathered economic downturns well, but this era has produced a worthy competitor:
people hooking up via dating sites, chat, Facebook, etc. are replacing hiring a hooker as a penis-friendly pasttime. There's enough people out there willing to fuck for fun that there's fewer people willing to pay for it, and that has hookers at a disadvantage. They need a stimulus bill, don't you think: a Cash for Clunkers deal, so to speak: stop the economically damaging behavior, get people to spend some money and bouy the markets. Prostitution is a nationwide industry, too!
